Quote:
$str2=$_[1]."\{".$_[2]."\}";
What is the need that ' { ' and ' } ' should be escaped as above?
Without that it would work !!! Smilie



Code:
#! /opt/third-party/bin/perl

sub check {
  $first = $_[0];
  $character = $_[1] . "{" . $_[2] . "}";
  print "yes\n" if( $first =~ m/^$character$/ );
}

$str = "+++++";
$no = 5;
check($str, "\\+", $no);

exit 0
